Abstract: This volume is the first of two tomes devoted to the theme of Plato and Platonisms. The result of collaboration among an international group of scholars, the book aims to present contemporary lines of research on so-called Platonisms, i.e. authors from the Imperial and Late Antique periods who invoke Plato's auctoritas in discussions of his legacy. Through diverse approaches to themes and problems, the twelve essays collected in this volume explore physics and metaphysics and their interaction, offering an original exegetical and theoretical pathway that allows us to reconstruct different aspects of the Platonic tradition from the 1st to the 6th century AD.
